Keynote Speaker
Kiley Fleming Ed. D., PHR, SHRM-CP
Dr. Fleming will deliver the keynote address entitled: "Cultivating Conversations that Yield Success".
Developing effective communication starts with an understanding of the soil where you are trying to plant seeds for thriving relationships. Environments flourish when we create shared understanding, bridge lived experiences, and focus on common outcomes through the messages we tell ourselves and those we share with our world.
